In Australia, overseas visitors, overseas students and patients who are not eligible for Medicare under their current VISA arrangements are required to pay for the cost of their health care. Please contact the Overseas Liaison Officer on (08) 6457 8709 or email OPH.PPLO@health.wa.gov.au to obtain information regarding fees for your appointment.

Women and Newborn Health Service at Osborne Park Hospital offer the following pregnancy care options.

Team Midwifery Program

The Team Midwifery Program (TMP) provides women with pregnancy care from the same or a small group of midwives for the duration of their pregnancy, labour, birth and where possible postnatal period. See the Team Midwifery Program page for more information.

GP Shared Care

Care is provided by your General Practitioner (GP) up to and including the birth (if your GP has admitting privileges*) with visits to our antenatal clinic planned at particular stages in the pregnancy.

There is no out-of-pocket cost for hospital services provided by GP obstetricians but there may be consultation costs for antenatal visits at the GP consultation rooms.

Please note to ensure physical distancing requirements are maintained for safety, we can only allow the patient and one support person/or one child to attend any antenatal clinic appointments.
